    I don’t want to speak for Calvin but “warrants death” seems too much. For me it’s more like, I just don’t care or have sympathy that he is dying

    That's very different from what he's saying though.

    Thanks but it’s true. I’ll be happy when he’s dead.

    I oppose the death penalty.

    This is the kind of news that makes being a hmanist hard. Honestly can't feel sympathy for this hateful person who made a career of inciting bigotry. I don't cheer because I don't want to be a person who cheers painful death.

    Not sure if Rush invented calling supporters of women's rights "feminazis" or just spread it. Always found the term ironic since he supported every part of Nazis platform on women:

    End coeducation, confine girls'education to domestic subjects. Kick women out of college. No careers for women, just kitchen, church, children. Outlaw birth control and abortion. Germany was the birthplace of early research on sexual variation, those researchers were arrested and their books burned. Gay clubs shut down. Rigid gender roles in dress and appearance. Rape not prosecuted. Subservience of women the law. Anything there he wouldn't approve?

    Now, you're committing the sin of placing words in my mouth without checking it out with me first. I'm no more of a hypocrite than you are.
    I have already attempted in vain to explain to you my reasoning which you either didn't bother to read or didn't somehow comprehend.

    I just hope Rush lives another few weeks so he can see Trump get his ass kicked. After that, he can die.

    What always bothers me is, someone dying shouldn't mean we rewrite who they were the entire time they lived. Good and bad. If someone is a general piece of shit their entire life, on their death bed, nobody should have to feign sympathy.

    Nope. I thought the way that he died, as well as all the other people on that helicopter, was terribly sad. And more so I felt very sorry for those girls who lost their father, but I also thought the selective memory about Kobe was also very weak. I didn't know him.

    There's a difference between being sympathetic and being actively happy and celebrating that someone died.

    of course there's a difference

    but that's not what some are arguing. How big a difference is there between NOT having any sympathy and being just fine with him dying?

    personally, I don't give a shit. He was a hateful piece of shit person, and he made millions from being a hateful piece of shit. And he's almost 70 so he's had a full piece of shit life

    And there's a difference between saying fuck him and rooting for a horrible death. You seemed to stretch most of the responses into something to fit your rant. Most are just unsympathetic to a shit bag, the same way you didn't mourn for kobe.

    Did you go on a similar rant after rbg died, and how happy some on the right were to claim her seat, or do you just do this for complaining about the left?
